It's not only the simplicity, but I've always believed that most athletes absolutely loved the idea of being the villian on the road rather than the hero at home. To place this scene in high school basketball makes it even more profound.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment!Jason Clinkscaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100315288752472586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924479118331926344.post-49595466459019207732009-02-13T12:32:00.000-05:002009-02-13T12:32:00.000-05:00I think a lot of what makes the Jordan commercials...I think a lot of what makes the Jordan commercials work is their simplicity. There's far too much going on in the Gatorade spot. And way too much talking.<BR/><BR/>It reminds me of another Jordan ad I liked: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-21785203558178567&hl=en<BR/>It's just about the game, nothing extraneous.<BR/><BR/>I think it might have helped to pick less recognizable faces - you can focus on the ad, not just the names.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00725984387399868412noreply@blogger.com
